Doc goes over tips on scalping Bermuda lawns including some updated information. Scalping is the only way to make sure 100% of the grass that's showing is solid green. If you don't scalp, you'll have lots of dead, brown grass showing through when you start cutting. He also suggests doing a core aeration at this time since the lawn is going to be short.

I am totally on your email list Doc! The funny thing is whenever people stop to ask about my lawn, the first words out of my mouth are “Doc says…”. LOL! If I won that mower, I’d probably mow every lawn on my street just to be able to use it! 😆

Hey doc I've watched a lot of your videos and I treated my yard for weeds as I just bought a house and it was really overran. I'm a first-time homeowner so I'm trying to get my yard looking really good so I overkilled it with the spray that you had mentioned in your previous videos. It's been a couple weeks now and everything's dying off do I need to go out and break up all the dead weeds?

Doc, you mentioned doing a light coat of spray pre-emergent. I spread my pre-emergent in early March as well as a scalp and jump start. Temps were warm in San Antonio. I have beautiful green grass now. Is it ok to do another light coat of pre-emergent for preventative measures since it’s still early in the season? I normally have very few weeds and I want to keep it that way as all of the neighboring yards are full of weeds. Muchas Gracias Doc!
